Extracting embedded graphics from Word

[Owen, Clint]

Pat,

The best way I have found to do this is to print the Word document to
PDF, then use Acrobat to extract the applicable pages and crop away
everything except the graphics you need. Then the PDF becomes your
source file for the graphics. This works no matter what the original
graphic format was or how they got into Word.

Subject: Extracting embedded graphics from Word

Hi -

I have approximately 2000 pages to convert from Word to Frame. The
graphics are embedded but the client wants them imported by reference in
Frame. I tried "extracting" them from Word by saving a file as HTML but
the graphics became blurry and unusable. They look fine when I open the
Word file in Frame.

Is there a way to extract graphics from Word without losing quality?  
Or a utility that converts embedded graphics in Frame into imported-
by-reference?

Thanks for any help.

Pat Christenson
